The Children's Safety Education Foundation

Mini Medic First Aid HandbooksSouth Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust, in conjunction with The Children’s Safety Education Foundation, has launched a major campaign to provide primary school children throughout Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly with lifesaving First Aid Handbooks.

The full colour guidebooks aim to teach children aged between 6-11 about their bodies, how to look after them, how to recognise a medical emergency and how to respond.

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust will be distributing copies of the Early Years First Aid Handbook for the 6-7 year olds (Key Stage 1) and the First Aid Handbook for the 7-11 year olds (Key Stage 2). Designed by a qualified paramedic, both of these books will guide children through projects and activities, which can be discussed with teachers and parents alike.

Our strategy is not only to inform but also educate the children in a fun and positive way. Childrens Safety Education Foundation Logo Local businesses are being approached for sponsorship by members of The Children’s Safety Education Foundation, whose objective is to provide schools with their educational resources. The Trust is hoping that local businesses will support this vital educational project.

If you are able to help with sponsorship, or require more information, please contact Lynne Paramor, Public Relations and Communications Manager, South Western Ambulance Service on 01392 261500 or telephone Children’s Safety Education Foundation on 0161 477 5122.
